It is separate... if you go to the download center you'll see that 4.0r28

is what most people currently get:

Thanks for the chance to make my earnest plea again here, though.... ;-)


There's currently a beta build of the Macromedia Flash 5 Player publicly

available, and we'd greatly appreciate your help in testing it. The goal is

to have the new player render existing sites exactly the same, and although

in-house engineering and external beta-testing is going well, we still need

to turn up any discrepancies NOW.


(Once the Player is approved for general release, then the public will have

it! Any subsequent changes would require they re-install. That's why we

want the Player to be identical before the public gets it!)


Here's the download:

Here's the feedback address:

flash5_playermacromedia [dot] com

Here's the necessary info:

Your browser and OS versions; the URL; the section that acts differently;

what should happen; what actually happens; any significant authoring

techniques used in that area (a complex script, a level-load, nested

symbols, etc).


Thanks!!
